Musicovery is a web tool for listening to music. If you dont know what you want to listen to at the time, all you have to do is drag your mouse over your moods, or genres, and it gives you options on what music to listen to!

Avatar project


DoppelMe

South Park

Osoq

Zui


These were different sites that I used to make an avatar. They all had different features to mix and match to make a character but I liked the South Park one the most because of all of its choices. The different items and options it had I liked more than the others.

 In my opinion, i liked all editing sites. They all offered different options for editing the pictures, and all had cool effects on the photos. All sites for me, were easy to use, and were pretty self explanatory.

Google Drive

Google Drive is much like iCloud. In case your software is ruined you can always back up your information, documents, files, etc. to google drive. You can also use some of the resources they give you like Document. Document is like pages, you can write an assignment and such.



Another resource is Presentation, which is like keynote. you can use this at school or work to make a slide show about a topic.



Spreadsheet is an app that you can make graphs, keep track of data, and organize information.




Another is Form. Form can be used to make cards, invites, memos, and so on. As seen below, you would choose one of the many themes they give you and fill in your information.




The last one they give you freely on the site is Drawing. Its where you can use different shapes and lines to make designs, logos, or for an assignment.




Google Drive also gives you the option of connecting with more apps, which is where you can get other apps and download them to Your google drive and use. Another helpful thing about these is that you can connect with co-workers or peers and make a group project or assignment where everyone is involved. And with that there are settings to where you can edit who can or cannot edit the project that everyone is viewing.
